@cmb2022 Yes, I agree. The actual treatment is the easy part if there is anything easy about endometrial cancer. While I am post-menopausal and did not have the hormonal symptoms that you have had it is and was the emotional impact that has been so difficult and exhausting.

I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer about two months after developing symptoms of vaginal bleeding and eventually cramping. It felt like the worst periods I had when I was a teenager. I went to my gynecologist and he did the D&C. All the symptoms went away and since there were a few fibroids and the endometrium had thickened the gynecologist was encouraging when he gave me this information after the D&C. When the results came back my gynecologist was shocked that it was cancer. When I met with him to discuss the results my partner was there too. Two men whose hands I practically had to hold because they were almost more shook up than I was. So anyone who believes that doctors don't feel emotional pain about their patients is sorely mistaken.

I'm doing my best to eat healthy and eliminate refined sugar from my diet. It's a challenge but like you I occasionally give in. I have to remind myself that this is a long term strategy for my health and. What can you say when you are having dinner with friends? What helps most is to keep those snacks and sweet stuff out of the house. Of course, then there's the work setting where there is always some sweet snack available.

I hope you have a good week ahead too.
